Global Governance 2025: Polar Shift

The National Intelligence Council and the European Union’s Institute for Security Studies jointly released a document on global governance. It is difficult to determine the economic and political future climate of one nation but to attempt to do so for the world is a task.

The leaders and statesmen of our respective countries are becoming symbolic window dressing while the real debate is going on without our knowledge.

The United States’ National Intelligence Council (NIC) and the European Union’s Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) have joined forces to produce this assessment of the long-term prospects for global governance frameworks. This exercise builds on the experience of the two institutions in identifying the key trends shaping the future international system
